During the Battle of Shrewsbury, Prince Henry (later Henry V) took an arrow in the face. The prince was doubly lucky; lucky that the arrow didn't kill him, and lucky that he had access to the best medical minds in England. Though he survived, Henry bore the scars for the rest of his life.

Status of Set 8

Note: This card was never printed. The final version from the design team has been spoiled as part of a prize to dedicated players on the Anachronism forums. There's no telling whether or not this card will be printed, and if it were, that it'd have the same text as the spoiled version.

As is, one will notice missing elements, since the card hasn't been finished. There's no artist or flavor text; card names & ability titles are English, rather than Old English.

Trivia

• Ever notice how you see a lot of profile shots of Henry V? As in, perhaps he didn't like to display his facial scars for history?
